Some of the stuff in that Rudi Klein junkyard collection is astonishing......I wonder what the final sale figure will be for all of that stuff...?

Much want for these 4 if my Euro millions lottery win came up

'56 Merc 300SL alloy body car ($4.5-6.0m estimate)
'59 356A Carrera 4-cam ($450-600k estimate)
'39 Horch 855 Special ($3-4m estimate)
'35 Merc 500K Caracciola Special ($4-6m estimate)

The market does not look dead to me.
Got to have been a few celebs like Seinfeld or Leno bidding.
Love to know who bidder 2015 was, I like his style!

It was an amazing auction in the end.

Reading the background, he died in 2001 and the whole passed to his two sons. I wonder why they chose now to sell- yes they've made a fortune, but they could have enjoyed a lesser fortune for the past 23 years

The sons have had lots of fun using those cars over the last 23 years ..... they were all mint back then .
